The lake offers lots of opportunities to canoe, kayak, sail, waterski and throw in a fishing line. The camping grounds are also surrounded by Imbil State Forest and Yabba State Forest, which offer extensive trail networks for those of all fitness levels. If you prefer the soothing sounds of nature, you’ll be happy to know there are no generators, no amplified music or whip cracking (yes, really) permitted. There is also a no-loud-noise policy after 9 pm.

Facilities: Toilets, hot showers, outdoor camp kitchen, wastewater dump point, on-site kiosk (cash only), free kayaks, open fire pits (subject to fire bans), table tennis and a volleyball court.
